At last I can reveal my secret project - Field and Forage. theres been lots of planning and developing and meetings going on but finally I can share it!
About three years ago I met Charlotte, who like me is mad about delicious food, local and seasonal produce, be it from the harvest or the hedgerow. Unlike me, Charlotte has a beef herd that she and her lovely husband and children have been working hard to ensure is the best that it can be. Manor Farm Beef was born and they run a very successful beef business, not surprisingly as the beef they rear is delicious (apologies to my veggie and vegan friends!)
together we are developing the catering business, catering events, private parties etc. I've been bursting to blog about the business in development but it didn't feel right to till now.

So many exciting things have been happening over the past few weeks - we've met with a brand and logo designer, we've launched on twitter, registered a web domain and facebook page - all getting ready to launch. We've met with an events company and...
we have our first event in the diary!
Driffield Christmas lights switch on (4-8pm) 4th December, will see Field and Forage on their first official outing. We have some promo materials to hand out on the night but our official logo and materials won't be unveiled till just before Christmas.
You can follow our progress on twitter as Field and Forage and I can write about our adventures here now too - my secret love's no secret any more!

DeleteOh, how very exciting. Great name. I do hope it goes fantastically well for you. Look forward to finding out how it goes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Choclette - Im so glad you like the name - whilst the hot beef sandwich is our core product a lot of our accompaniments are foraged foods - hence Field and Forage!
